unsticking stuck lifters
ok guy here is what you've all been waiting for.
tools needed
1. small pick and flat head screwdriver
2. easy out
3. pliers (maybe)
4. patience
1. you'll need to look closely but you can see that lifer has a clip holding the cylinder from falling out. this is the hard part, i got lucky and removed the clip in about 2 min. but spent about 15 min trying to take another one apart.
with the pick or screwdriver remove the clip.
4. clean out the inside of the lifer.
i used this stuff called b'laster, and some break cleaner just spray some in the cylinder put the spring back in and squeeze it a few times then put some fresh oil in and reassemble.
this can be done fairly quickly but it can take all day. it just depends how fast you can take the clip off. also i soaked the lifters in diesel for a few days before i took them apart.
maybe next time i'll show you how to make solid lifters. i haven't made any yet but i have it all in my head.

i forgot to mention something.
before you put the lifter back together take the spring off the little relief valve. spay your choose of penetrating oil into the larger of the two cylinders then put them together her and squeeze until the relief valve it unclogged. otherwise air will get trapped and cause a vacuum which will lead to your lifters sticking again. then just install the lifters and go through the bleeding process as recommended in the fsm.

absolutely.
my lifters rattled so bad that it sounded like i have marbles under the valve cover. after cleaning them out and going through the bleed out process as described in the fsm, all that is gone. although the dohc lifters are different though and am not sure what you would need to do about them. other than pouring a quart of atf in the crank case and hope that works.
